About Oahu’s Surf Schools:
Surfing is one of the most popular Oahu Things to do, and attending a Surf School is a chance to try this Waikiki Activity for the very first time or for intermediate and advanced surfers to hone their skills. Several surf schools are offered near Ambassador Hotel - A Waikiki Hotel, and many first time surfers are amazed at how easy it is to catch their first wave.

Most Waikiki Surf Schools offer group, semi-private and private lessons. For those who are just starting out, a group lesson is a great choice. If you prefer to have an instructor to yourself for a semi-private or private lesson then there are some advantages. In a group setting, the lesson must progress at a specific pace. With a semi-private or private lesson, however, the instructor can tailor the lesson to suit your skill level.

Intermediate and advanced surfers should book a semi-private or private lesson. Most Surf Schools allow you to bring your own board, but rental boards are also available. Rash guards are typically included in the cost of the lesson, but other gear usually is not.

If you have never even seen a surfboard, you can still be riding a wave by the end of your very first lesson. Some are surprised to know that you don’t even have to know how to swim in order to enjoy this Waikiki Activity. Some spots feature shallow water where you can surf and still stand easily, so just about anyone can enjoy this Oahu Things to Do.

Ambassador Hotel - A Waikiki Hotel has some of the best rates in Waikiki, and our Waikiki Hotel is located near top Oahu Attractions and Oahu Things to Do.

You can find surf schools in Waikiki or, for those who want a bigger challenge, at the North Shore where the waves are famously big during the winter months. During your next stay at our Waikiki Hotel, consider learning to catch a wave at a nearby surf school.

The Island

Our room was clean and towels fresh and fluffy. Daily maid service never missed a beat. The front desk was very helpful and there was not a day that passed that we were not greeted by the front desk management with a good morning or recognition. The business center was helpful. The pool area was fresh and clean. We were very happy with our stay and look forward in staying again. We would like the all the staff to know how happy we were.

“Great Value and Great Service”

It wasn't looking good when our reservation thru Groupon was mixed up and Groupon was closed for the weekend. But the staff stepped up and solved the problem and took good care of our large family. Our stay was 2 weeks long and we found the staff to be friendly and extremely helpful. Room was kept clean and enough extra towels supplied without continually asking. Carpet was new. Hotel provides reusable water bottles and filtered water in the lobby. Close to shopping and quick breakfast/coffee. Room had full kitchen with smaller oven and 4 burner stove and full fridge which helped us save a lot of dining expense. Suggest to hotel to update the kitchen by replacing countertop and cabinetry, and look at replacing stove burners. Add a little color by painting in bathroom, similar to the new paint scheme in the hallways. All cosmetic but will improve the "feel." Already while there, the staff was repainting the facility and we learned that was due to new ownership. Kids really enjoyed the new game room, especially during the threat of hurricane. Easy walk to Waikiki Beach thru the park across the street.

“All you need”

We stayed here the first week of June. The reception staff gave us a warm welcome. Our room was exactly as in the picture. Although not top end luxury it ticked all the boxes. Very spacious. It had a balcony with no furniture but with a table and 2 chairs in the room we just put these on the balcony when we needed them and enjoyed beer and wine bought from the ABC shop beside the hotel at very decent prices. The white zinfandel is cheap and lovely. The room has a fridge to keep your drinks cool and there is an ice machine on one of the floors. We had a kettle too but no mugs. The bathroom has a walk in shower. A bit dated but plenty of hot water and shampoo is provided but no body wash. The wardrobe is in the bathroom with plenty of storage space and a free safe and iron and ironing board. There's a decent hairdryer too. What more could we want. The air conditioning is noisy but at times we left it off. Oh and wifi extends to your room and it's free too. We had a brilliant signal. The TV had some decent channels. In reception there is a person at a desk that will book your trips. I booked ahead with Shaka tours, they were cheaper than other companies and used Roberts of Hawaii who were excellent. We did Pearl Harbor and Honolulu highlights, circle island tour and The Chief's Luau. The food wasn't up to much at the Luau but The Chief is such a genuine warm person he makes the show. The Hotel has a pool with loungers and umbrella's and was fine for a couple of afternoons rest. This hotel is ideal for anywhere you want to go to. Very near the beach, through Fort Derussey Park. 5 minutes to eating places. Try IHOP for breakfast. $8.95 for a breakfast and a stack of pancakes. Coffee is extra but cheap and they give you a flask on the table full of it. It's good for other meals too. Prices are not expensive compared to England. The same or less. We took too much spending money. Hard Rock Cafe has a happy hour after 10.00 at night. Cocktails $5 and A pint of beer $4 and a live band. Try Arnold's beach bar beside Eggs and Things. Cheap drinks all day. Mai Tai's are lovely and strong. It's down a side alley and looks a bit grim but locals seem to drink there. Honolulu zoo is within walking distance and really nice. Beware the bugs though it's the only place I got bitten. The Ambassador is a lovely place to stay when you'd rather stay down budget and keep the money you save on not having all the frills to spend on other things, Give it a try. I'm pleased we did.

“Good value for money.”

We have just spent two nights at this hotel. My sister, brother in law, husband and myself shared a one bedroom unit. It was clean and comfortable. The beds were good as were the pillows. It is an old hotel but very handy to everything and I would stay here again if ever back in Waikiki.

“Better than expectations”

The best things of the hotel are the location, the personnel and the value for the money. It is located a block away from the beach and the city parade pass right by it. The staff provides good quality of service and are well inform of the surroundings. The hotel price is good and even with the amenities and parking fees, the total price is better than what other hotel in the area offer. It is not update but it is very clean.
